The **General Mosconi neighbourhood** is located 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) away from the downtown of [Comodoro Rivadavia](/source/Comodoro_Rivadavia) to the north, in [Chubut](/source/Chubut_Province), Argentina.[1] It had 7.294 inhabitants in 2001.[2]

There are several monuments commemorating important figures such as General [Enrique Mosconi](/source/Enrique_Mosconi), who is its namesake. This place was developed with the oil industry.[3] In the neighbourhood there is a huge variety of places and shops such as supermarkets, clothes stores, DVD rental houses, bakeries, a bank, pharmacies, cafes, ice-cream shops, drugstores, cybers, a post office, schools and even a hospital. The houses and the structure of the buildings are quite quaint, which reflects the past as ex-[YPF](/source/YPF) properties. One of the most popular places in the neighbourhood and in the city is the Club Huergo, in which all the sports and cultural events are held.[citation needed]

It is also famed for its concerts. Another historical place is the Catholic School for boys, Dean Funes School, which is next to the local church *Santa Lucia*. The development of this neighbourhood took place together with that of the oil activity, which is why the Oil Museum was built here in 1987 by YPF; it is nowadays run by the [National University of Patagonia San Juan Bosco](/source/National_University_of_Patagonia_San_Juan_Bosco). The museum is very important because there is a lot of historical machinery and a replica of the famous Oil Well n° 2, where oil was first discovered in Comodoro Rivadavia in 1907.[4]
